Optical Anisotropy of Solution-Cast Cellulose Ester Films

3 Optical Anisotropy of Solution-Cast Cellulose Ester Films 

In optical device application, biomass-derived cellulose esters are being studied actively as a potential material for optical films. Besides being derived from abundantly available biomass resources, they also possess characteristics suitable as optical films such as high transparency and excellent heat resistance [8]. By virtue of these properties, cellulose esters provide huge possibilities for future development of optical films in order to meet the market demands.
